Book Description
"I look beyond solution; I look for an expression."--Eduardo Souto de Moura The architect Eduardo Souto de Moura (b. 1952) has won many accolades, including the 2011 Pritzker Architecture Prize. Based in Porto, Souto de Moura studied under Fernando Távora and worked under fellow Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza, with whom he continues to collaborate. Souto de Moura established his own practice in 1980, and his wide-ranging influences, including Mies van der Rohe and Donald Judd, can be seen in the stunning variety of his work, from his acclaimed private houses, to the striking Paula Rego Museum in Cascais and the Braga Municipal Stadium, to his work in historical contexts such as the Convento das Bernardas in Tavira. This beautifully illustrated retrospective provides the most comprehensive account of Souto de Moura's career to date. Drawings, notes and sketches from his archive, and newly commissioned photographs complement essays by scholars and prominent architects that trace Souto de Moura's career, contextualize his work within the larger trends of contemporary international architectural culture, and highlight the originality of his design strategy.

Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
During the past three decades, Portuguese architect Eduardo Souta de Moura has produced a body of work that is of our time but also carries echoes of architectural traditions. His oeuvre is convincing proof of modern idiom's expressive potential and adaptability to distinct local situations. Always mindful of context, understood in the broadest sense, and grounded in place, time, and function, Souto de Moura's architecture reinforces a sense of history while expanding the range of contemporary expression Eduardo Souto de Moura's architecture is not obvious, frivolous, or picturesque. It is imbued with intelligence and seriousness. His work requires an intense encounter not a quick glance. And like poetry, it is able to communicate emotionally to those who take the time to listen. His buildings have a unique ability to convey seemingly conflicting characteristics power and modesty, bravado and subtlety, bold public authority and sense of intimacy at the same time. For architecture that appears effortless, serene, and simple, and for the care and poetry that permeates each project, Eduardo Souta de Moura receives the 2011 Pritzker Architecture Prize"

Architectonica Percepta

Category : Architecture
Languages : en

Book Description
Paulo Providencia occupies a special place in contemporary Portuguese architecture. He is recognised by many as one of the best of the generation following Eduardo Souto de Moura. His work is concerned about interpretation of programmatic needs, relating architecture to specific cultural contexts. His buildings the vast majority of them located in Portugal are based on sound theoretical background, rooted in philosophical and anthropological research. This new book features seven of Providencia's realised structures in striking duotone photographs taken by the Portuguese photographer Alberto Placido. Each is documented as well with selected plans and key information. Five topical essays by Providencia round out the first monograph in English on this eminent architect and theoretician.

Celebrating Public Architecture
Author: Florian Heilmeyer
Publisher: Jovis Verlag
ISBN: 9783868596922
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Der Open Call in Flandern (dem flämischsprachigen, nördlichen Teil Belgiens) ist mehr als nur ein weiterer Architekturwettbewerb: Jede Behörde oder öffentliche Einrichtung kann sich bei jedem Bauprojekt für einen Open Call entscheiden. Seit seiner Einführung durch den ersten Vlaams Bouwmeester bOb van Reeth im Jahr 2000 wurden mehr als 700 Bauaufgaben auf diese Weise ausgeschrieben und davon knapp 350 öffentliche Architektur- und Infrastrukturprojekte realisiert. Es ist an der Zeit, das Verfahren, seine Funktionsweise und die Resonanz, die es erfährt, ausführlich zu betrachten. Darüber hinaus ist die Beschäftigung mit der außergewöhnlichen Architektur öffentlicher Bauten in Flandern längst überfällig, bedenkt man ihren Vorbildcharakter für andere Länder. Celebrating Public Architecture dokumentiert anhand von 70 Beispielen aus ganz Flandern die erstaunlich hohe Qualität dieser Projekte. Die gebauten Beispiele zeigen eindrucksvoll, dass öffentliche Architektur tatsächlich zum Nachdenken anzuregen vermag und gleichzeitig gewagt, gemeinnützig und gut gemacht sein kann. Mit Bauten von 51N4E, Bovenbouw Architectuur, Dierendonckblancke, Zaha Hadid, KAAN, Maxwan, Hideyuki Nakayama, Ney & Partner, noAarchitecten, OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen, RCR Arquitectes, Robbrecht en Daem, Sergison Bates, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Xaveer de Geyter und anderen

Vatican Chapels

Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This beautifully illustrated book retraces the entire creation process of an unusual challenge presented to ten architects; an inspirational volume for all those interested in contemporary architecture. This unique publication, catalogue of the Holy See Pavilion at the XVI International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale, presents ten chapels designed by ten of the most important contemporary architects whose work was inspired by the "chapel in the forest" built in the Stockholm Cemetery, in 1920, by the famous architect Gunnar Asplund. The chapel is defined as a place of orientation, encounter, and meditation created in a natural setting of a vast woodland and regarded as a metaphor of the pilgrimage of life. In light of this, the architects of the Holy See Pavilion have worked without following the commonly recognized reference models, as the number and variety of the projects presented illustrates.
